BORMIO, Italy (AP) -- Regaining his health from a series of injuries and falls, German skier Felix Neureuther announced himself as a medal contender for the Sochi Olympics by edging first-run leader Marcel Hirscher to win a World Cup slalom Monday night.
Then Neureuther used the spotlight to announce his opposition to Russia's human rights record and a recent law banning gay ''propaganda'' in the Olympic host country. He also criticized the choice of Pyeongchang, South Korea, to host the 2018 Winter Games.
''It's not right,'' Neureuther said. ''The guys from the IOC should think about where to put the Olympic Games. It's not right to give the Olympic Games to places where they are giving the most money. It should be about the sport, in nations where there is passion.''
Neureuther is from the well-known Alpine resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. He is the son of 1976 Olympic champion Rosi Mittermaier and Christian Neureuther, a six-time winner on the World Cup circuit.
The younger Neureuther now also has six career wins. And this victory was a major achievement considering what he's gone through over the past year.
Neureuther had ankle surgery in June and was off skis until the end of September. Then he tumbled head over heels during the second run of a race in Levi, Finland, in November and hurt his knee.
Neureuther had another crash while training in Alta Badia last month, dislocating his thumb and hurting his back.
''Now I'm healthy,'' he said. ''But I still have some big problems with my thumb. This will take some more weeks. I hope when there is the slalom in Sochi it will be good.''
The Sochi Games start Feb. 7 and the men's slalom on Feb. 22 is the final skiing event.
Neureuther said that he would not make any protests when in Sochi.
Trailing by just 0.01 after the opening run, Neureuther attacked from start to finish in his second trip down the Stelvio course for a two-leg combined time of 1 minute, 59.75 seconds.
''I was really pushing hard,'' he said.
Hirscher, the two-time defending overall World Cup winner from Austria, finished second, 0.36 seconds behind, and Manfred Moelgg of Italy moved up from sixth after the opening run to place third, 0.65 back.
Naoki Yuasa of Japan had the fastest second run and jumped from 21st to fourth.
The race was moved from Zagreb due to lack of snow in Croatia.
The course was about five or six seconds longer than most slaloms. Neureuther's coach, Hans Wallner, set the second run.
''It's a little long and it's very turny but it's not a very challenging course,'' Hirscher said. ''The terrain is too easy to create big gaps.''
Moelgg qualified for Italy's Olympic team with his first podium of the season.
''This was a very important podium,'' he said. ''Today I really attacked how I wanted to.''
While clearly disappointed not to win, Hirscher still gained ground on overall leader Aksel Lund Svindal, who doesn't often race slalom and sat this race out. Svindal's lead over Hirscher was cut from 195 to 115 points. American giant slalom specialist Ted Ligety is third overall, 297 points back.
It was a tough day for Ligety.
He bloodied his nose after a gate snapped up and hit him in the face during the pre-race warmup then was 14th in the opening run. In the second run, Ligety fell toward the bottom of the course. He got back up but finished 27th - last place among those who finished both runs.
''I skied relatively well in sections, I just made some mistakes here and there,'' Ligety said. ''And this hill is so flat you definitely pay on those little mistakes.''
Ligety recently returned to Europe from a mid-season break back home in Park City, Utah.
''You don't even really get recovered from jet lag when you're only home for four days,'' he said. ''But it was nice to be home and see friends and family.''
Ligety needed a few stitches to close the cut on his nose.
''I got a gate back up in the face. It went off my leg and smashed me in the nose,'' he said. ''There was a good blood mark up on the training hill.''
The top American finisher was David Chodounsky of Crested Butte, Colorado, in 15th.
Christian Deville of Italy also lost control in the second run and got popped up into the air and fell hard on his back and the back of his head. He appeared to avoid major injury, though.
Markus Larsson of Sweden and Alexis Pinturault of France were disqualified for straddling gates in the first run.
The men's circuit goes to Adelboden, Switzerland, for a giant slalom and slalom next weekend.

On the latest episode of "The Simpsons," Lisa digs into the roots of the most American of fictional TV families – ignoring warnings that she's headed down a yellow-hued road to disappointment.
"I won't give up," she declares. "I have to know that somewhere in the muck and mire… that this family had a noble spark."
"The Simpsons," still a pretty decent pop cultural barometer after two decades on the air, tackled genealogy at a time when Reality TV is growing a new branch: call it Roots TV.
Harvard Prof. Henry Louis Gates Jr. (perhaps best known for the White House Beer Summit) hosts the fascinating "Faces of America" on PBS, following his great "African American Lives" series. Meanwhile, Lisa Kudrow (perhaps best known for the decade-long coffee summit called "Friends") is the executive producer of an upcoming NBC show, "Who Do You Think You Are?" set to debut March 5.
Both shows research the backgrounds of well-known folks – Gates traces the genealogy of Meryl Streep and Yo-Yo Ma, among others, while Kudrow's program will feature Spike Lee and Sarah Jessica Parker, to name just two.
Who we are and where we come from are inherently fascinating questions – ones that are especially important as we grapple with immigration reform, political divisions and national identity. Perhaps the most important question these shows try to answer is what does it mean to be American?
A big part of the attraction for viewers, of course, is the celebrities and those irresistibly dramatic moments when we watch them learn of untold family histories. There's a certain touching appeal to seeing Stephen Colbert, who plays a compassion-challenged political commentator on his comedy show, mist up when Gates tells him about his gutsy Irish ancestors.
As Lisa Simpson knows, not every story reflects well on generations past. We're not all descended from royalty (as American-born Queen Noor of Jordan learned from Gates, royal blood flowed through her veins long before she married into royalty).
These kinds of shows are fine as long as they stay rooted in careful research and fact – even if those facts are limited and subject to interpretation. But we'll take pieces of truth wherever we can get them.
"We always forget how important history is. It informs everything that happens after," Kudrow told TIME magazine.
Maybe Gates or Kudrow should start a show that traces the backgrounds of regular folks – like the Simpsons.
In Sunday's episode, Lisa ultimately discovers that the family tree includes an escaped enslaved African who was a pioneer doughnut maker (and shares Homer's hairline).
The yellow-tinted, dysfunctional crew, it turns out, is 1/64th black.
"So that's why I'm so cool," Bart notes.
What's really cool is the conclusion Gates has drawn from his series, whose final two installments air this Wednesday and next.
"I found," he wrote on the show's blog, "that despite all our apparent differences in terms of culture and history, we are all the same."

Chocolate is good for you! You heard right. Cocoa powder and dark chocolate may protect against heart disease. Cocoa has been shown to modestly reduce LDL oxidation and increase HDL levels. The once-prevalent belief that if something tastes so good it can't possibly be good for you has been replaced by a new picture of chocolate and cocoa products and their relation to sound health and nutrition.
Researchers conducted many studies on the relationship between dark chocolate and heart disease. The main flavonoids in cocoa are flavan-3-ols and procyanidins. These are powerful antioxidants. They provide a variety of benefits such as antioxidant protection and they assist in maintaining vascular homeostasis. The British Medical Journal suggests having 100 grams of dark chocolate every day. This amount has been shown to reduce blood pressure in men and women. Chocolate has been shown to reduce heart disease by 21%.
Most of the chocolate that is available today is made from highly processed cocoa beans. The high temperature used to sweeten the chocolate decreases the amount of phytochemicals left in the chocolate. Try using unsweetened cocoa for maximum health benefits. The darker the chocolate, the more flavinols it contains and it increases your heart healthy benefits by reducing your risk of fatal blood clots.
One third of the fat in dark chocolate is composed of oleic acid. This monounsaturated fatty acid can also be found in olive oil. This helps maintain cardiovascular health. Another benefit of chocolate is its noted positive effect on mood.
Chocolate is best tasted on an empty stomach. Chocolate should be stored at 66-77 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not store chocolate in the refrigerator for it will cause the cocoa to separate and form a white bloom. A couple of serving per week at an ounce each is enough to indulge without the bulge.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Indiana freshman Jeremy Hollowell will miss his third straight game Friday night when No. 5 Indiana hosts Jacksonville.
Less than an hour before tip-off, the school issued a statement saying Hollowell would not play until ``compliance issues'' are resolved by the NCAA. It did not specify what issues the school or NCAA is looking into.
Indiana athletic director Fred Glass says Hollowell and his family raised the concerns and have fully cooperated with investigators.
Last week, coach Tom Crean said the Hoosiers (11-1) had kept Hollowell out of two blowouts because of personal issues.
Indiana has been short-handed all season for a variety of reasons, including injuries to forward Derek Elston, who missed nearly two months after knee surgery, and forward Austin Etherington, who has a season-ending dislocated kneecap.

Siemens mobile arm for sale or closure
Siemens will close its mobile handset division unless it can find a last minute buyer, according to the Sunday Telegraph.
The paper reports a final decision will be announced at the Siemens annual general meeting on 27 January.
A spokesman for Siemens declined to comment on the report but confirmed to the Scotsman newspaper that the division's future was under review by chief executive Heinrich von Pierer and that an announcement will be made at the annual meeting.
Von Pierer told Bloomberg: "Either the situation has to be fixed or we have to find a partner for cooperation. We have to fix, close or sell.".
NEC denied it is interested in buying the division. Chinese manufacturer Ningbo Bird also denied interest.

The familiar settings will stay the same as Jordan Farmar makes the next step in his NBA career. He will stay in his hometown in Los Angeles. Farmar will still play home games at Staples Center. He will still compete for an NBA championship.
But one drastic difference will emerge. Farmar will no longer play for the Lakers. On Sunday, Farmar accepted the Clippers' bi-annual exception of two years worth $4.2 million, including a player option for the second season.
"Lakers fans are mad at me," Farmar said in an interview with the Los Angeles Newspaper Group. "They're going crazy. But they don't understand the business side of it."
The Los Angeles Times first reported the deal.
Plenty of elements came into play.
The Lakers liked Farmar after averaging 10.1 points and 4.9 assists despite appearing in only 41 games of injuries that included a torn left hamstring and a strained right groin, ailments he said has since healed. The Lakers also became impressed with Farmar's improved maturity from his first stint from 2006-2010. Farmar also had said this season he had hoped to stay with the Lakers. But in addition to their reluctance offering any role player a one-year deal to maintain financial flexibility, the Lakers also offered no assurances how any free agent, including Farmar, would fit their plans. They are still waiting to see whether their courtship surrounding LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony will become successful.
"It would've been an easy decision if the Lakers said, 'We want to make you a point guard and offer you 'X, Y and Z and we would love to have you here,'" Farmar said. "But those weren't the conversations going back and forth. So it wasn't a choice for me to make."
Farmar also sounded skeptical about his Lakers' future even after James and Anthony decide theirs. Farmar sounded mindful about the Lakers' strategy to limit spending to save up for Kevin Love in 2015 and Kevin Durant in 2016.
"If they get Carmelo or LeBron, they wouldn't have any money left for me, Nick [Young] or whoever else wanted to sign as a Laker," Farmar said. "In the event that didn't happen, there had to be someone to say that 'We'd love to have you.' It wasn't quite that easy."
So instead, Farmar followed a trend of former Lakers players joining their crosstown rivals, which have included Matt Barnes, Lamar Odom, Caron Butler and Ronny Turiaf.
Despite drawing interest from more lucrative offers from unspecified overseas and NBA teams, Farmar zeroed in on the Clippers. Not only does the roster feature an established coach (Doc Rivers), they seem built to compete for an NBA championship with an elite point guard (Chris Paul), an elite power forward (Blake Griffin) and an emerging center (DeAndre Jordan). It helped that backup point guard Darren Collison departed for the Sacramento Kings, and that Rivers reached out to Farmar early in the free agency process.
"He said, 'I thought this would be a great fit for you,'" Farmar said. "'I've been watching you for a long time and you would fit in with our guys. You're exactly the kind of player that we want and need when we're out there and competing for a championship. We just need to get over the hump.'"
Farmar also downplayed the Clippers' pending sale surrounding the Sterling family to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, while embattled owner Donald Sterling fights through litigation.
"I think it will pretty much take care of itself," Farmar said. "The NBA is on top of it. There might be legal issues right now. But I don't think it's going to affect what goes on the basketball floor."
The final deal breaker: Farmar would not have to move away from Los Angeles. Though he has fielded stops in New Jersey, Israel and Turkey in between his Lakers stints, Farmar has attached greater importance into staying in his hometown. The former Woodland Hills Taft and UCLA standout married former UCLA and professional soccer player Jill Oaks and has two daughters.
"It was huge. I was an LA kid and Los Angeles is special to me," Farmar said. "The Clippers organization is moving in the right direction. They're young, fun and competitive. It's a great balance. It's something I haven't had a chance to be a part of in my professional career. I'm excited to be able to play here in front of my friends and family, live in my house and be comfortable."
Farmar used to enjoy that luxury as a Laker, becoming a key reserve that secured two NBA championships in 2009 and 2010. Despite last season's nightmare that entailed countless losses and endless injuries, Farmar relished returning to his roots. Hence, why he offered the Lakers an olive branch as he said goodbye.
"I want to thank the Lakers organization and Lakers fans for always accepting me," Farmar said. "Being able to come back home and play was special. There were good times and bad times. But I just wanted to say, 'Thank you.' Now at this point, I'm thankful for the Clippers' opportunity for this chapter in my career. I look forward toward bringing another championship to the city of Los Angeles."
But this time in a different uniform and for a different organization.

Seven days, seven more days that are connectedThe Red Sox are home. MVPapi: "It's going be good, bro. I like being home."
Just like I expected ...
Seven more days, all I gotta do is survive
David Wells tweaked his knee when he halted his delivery in the seventh inning on a pitch to Eric Byrnes. Plate umpire Jerry Crawford called time very late and Wells ended up flipping the ball away in anger.
Wells: "I'm not 100 percent out there ... [T]hey have to be a little more verbal out there. They have to scream it out. I didn't hear nothing. So that's kind of why I was a little ticked off." ... Francona: "He was already at that point in the game where we were going to go to the bullpen if anything happened, anyway. When we got out [to the mound], he said [his knee] was burning."
Re the thousands of Red Sox fans in Baltimore: the AP noted "the only things missing from Boston's final road series were the Green Monster and Pesky Pole" and at one point the Orioles announcers quipped that perhaps the victory should be included in the Sox's home record! (Since 1999, the Red Sox are 41-18 at Camden Yards.)
Kevin Youkilis tried to swing a bat yesterday, but could not. Yook: I'm hoping [to return] later in the week. Right now, it's still a little tender." ... Trot Nixon hit .500 (10-for-20) on the road trip. ... Who came up with the phrase "Red Sox Nation"? Former Globe writer Nathan Cobb learns, nearly twenty years after the fact, that he did.
Jack (in comments) points out this Johnny Damon quote about Dale Sveum:
Dale is always going to take a beating because we've got the slowest team on the face of the planet. We do not run bases worth a crap, so that's why Dale takes a beating. He's not afraid of it. Dale's been awesome for us.That is not why Dale takes a beating. He takes a beating because even though Boston may have the slowest team in MLB, Sveum oftentimes thinks they are all Carl Crawford or Ichiro. If they are slow, then you have to remember they are slow and do your job accordingly.
The nine Red Sox that have batted against tonight's starter, David Bush, are hitting a combined .421 (16-for-38).
Red Sox: Schilling / Bush at 7:00.
Yankees: Johnson / Lopez in Baltimore at 7:00.
Cleveland: Off. Hosts Tampa tomorrow.

But it's her speech Digits of Pi: Barriers and Enablers for Women in Engineering that's become a classic. It was delivered to a southeast regional meeting of the National Academy of Engineering in 2000. Despite the title, there are no long strings of numbers in the speech, which focuses instead on the real, everyday barriers that women engineers face. Here's one story she tells with great effect:
I once got a call from a female faculty colleague at another university. She was having trouble teaching her class in statistics. All of the football players who were taking it were sitting in the back row and generally misbehaving. If she asked me for advice on that today I don't know what I'd say. But what I did say—that worked—was that she should call them in one by one and get to know them as individuals. This evidently worked and she sailed on....I believe that all women faculty members have such challenges to their authority in ways that would never happen to a man. Students will call a female professor "Mrs." and a male professor "Professor." I told one student that if he ever addressed Sen. Feinstein as Mrs. Feinstein, he would find himself in the hall. If it is happening to women faculty members, I'm sure it is happening to women students, this constant challenge to who they are.
More on why I like this speech so well, and why it can be useful to you:
- The language couldn't be simpler, clearer or (as a result) more powerful. Aside from the reference to pi, you'll be hard-pressed to find much of the technical in this talk by an engineer. She's not out to impress the audience with her knowledge or long, complex, formal titles. It's loaded with active verbs and short, simple descriptions. This allows her message to stick with the audience, and makes the talk work for any audience, although it was delivered to engineering colleagues. That's one reason it has had such staying power on the web and in speech anthologies.
- She gives us the barriers and the solutions to the problem she describes: Widnall uses four "top 10" lists to describe the barriers she sees for women in engineering, as well as the opportunities or "enablers" that will help eradicate the barriers someday. In between, she weaves stories and adds a judicious amount of data to illustrate her points. The result is a balanced call to action. Like many other speeches I admire, this audience didn't leave the room wondering what she wanted it to do.
- She tells stories on herself. Perhaps most powerful is her description of a meeting she had with a project team of two students, one male, one female. Widnall says, "...I found myself directing my comments to the guy whenever there was discussion about building, welding, or cutting. I caught myself short and consciously began to direct my comments evenly. I went to my departmental colleagues and said: "This is what happened to me. If I'm doing it, you surely are." Telling a story on yourself is a powerful type of sharing. No one can say you've got it wrong, and it demonstrates a high level of self-confidence as well as humility.
Finally, all those qualities combine to make this a memorable speech--one audience members can quote with ease. It has the emotional power of personal testimony, repeatable stories and a strong call to act. What do you think about this famous speech, on a Friday?

Beautiful Belgium is bordered by France, Germany, Luxembourg and Holland. It is a relatively small European country, and many comprehensive tours of Western Europe include at least one overnight in its cosmopolitan capital of Brussels, home to NATO and the European Union. Brussels' gothic Grand Palace is a must-see highlight, as is the statue of Manneken-Pis: a little boy peeing in a fountain, which is a testament to the Belgian sense of humor and irreverence.
Visitors on a Belgium vacation might also spend time in the northern part of the country, Flanders, which encompasses the cities of Antwerp, a port city on the Scheldt River which links to the North Sea; medieval Bruges with its network of canals; and quiet Ghent, also filled with lovely historic buildings and abbeys.
If you are a beer connoisseur, you'll love Belgium tours, since the country is home to more than 1,000 different beers! Fruit beers are popular (if not unusual), so try the cherry beer, for sure. Belgian chocolate is famous worldwide, as are Belgian waffles and chips ("fries"), often served with mayonnaise - yes, it's tough to watch your waistline when you're traveling in Belguim. For souvenirs to take home, consider shopping for pretty handmade lace, especially in Bruge - a lovely reminder of your Belgium tour.

There's some interesting discussion on RU forums (via NA):
The gist is this:
-2.0 mode will completely replace the current one. That means there's no escaping the horrible new GUI and dumbed down flight model.
-Stats will be reset. Meaning, your current l33t statpadded winrate will soon mean absolutely nothing.

I just have a small question. I acquired a Windows 98 programming book and a Windows 2000 programming book a while ago. I never got the time to read them until recently. Now that I have Windows XP, will Windows 98 and/or Windows 2000 C++ programs work in a Windows XP environment?
Thank you dearly.

And now we present Exhibit No. 1,827 as to why the nerves of coaches all across the country are frayed at this time of the year.
The latest FBS program to run into an offseason off-field issue is Oklahoma, with defensive tackle Chuka Ndulue facing a drunk-driving complaint following an early-morning run-in with campus police.
According to the Daily Oklahoman, Ndulue was arrested shortly after four a.m. local time this morning on a complaint of driving under the influence. No details of what led to the initial traffic stop have been released.
There has been no comment from the school on what if any punitive measures the lineman may be facing, although the paper notes that head coach Bob Stoops normally hands out a one-game suspension for incidents such as this.
Last season, Ndulue played in all 13 games and led the Sooners with five sacks. He was moved from end to tackle this spring.

TOPOGRPHIC FEATURES – Colorado Lies astride the highest mountains of the Continental Divide. Nearly rectangular, its north and south boundaries are the 41° and 37° N. parallels, and the east and went boundaries are the 102° and 109° W. meridians. It is eighth in size among the 50 states, with an area of 104,247 square miles. Although primarily a mountain state, nearly 40 percent of its area is taken up by the eastern high plains.
The principal features of the Colorado geography are its inland continental location in the middle latitudes, and the mountains and ranges extending north and south approximately through the middle of the State. With an average altitude of about 6,800 feet above sea level, Colorado is the highest State in the Union. Roughly three-quarters of the Nation's land above 10,000 feet altitude lies within its borders. The State has 54 mountains 14,000 feet or higher, and about 830 mountains between 11,000 and 14,000 feet in elevation.
Emerging gradually from the plains of Kansas and Nebraska, the high plains of Colorado slope gently upward for a distance of some 200 miles from the eastern border to the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The eastern portion of the State is generally level to rolling prairie broken by occasional hills and bluffs. The northern art of the plains area slopes to the northeast and the southern part to the southeast, divided by higher country and hills extending eastward from the mountains near the center of the State. Elevations along the eastern border range from about 3,350 feet at the lowest point in the State (where the Arkansas River crosses the border) to near 4,000 feet.
At elevations between 5,000 and 6,000 feet the plains give way abruptly to foothills with elevations of 7,000 to 9,000 feet. Backing the foothills are the mountain ranges above 9,000 feet with the higher peaks over 14,000 feet. West of these "front ranges" are additional ranges, generally extending north and south, but with many spurs and extensions in other directions. These ranges enclose numerous high mountain parks and valleys. Farther westward the mountains give way to rugged plateau country in the form of high mesas (some more than 10,000 feet in elevation) which extends to the western border of the State. This land is often cut by rugged canyons, the work of the many steams fed by accumulations of winter snow.
All rivers in Colorado rise within its borders and flow outward, with the exception of the Green River, which flows diagonally across the extreme northwestern corner of the State. Four of the Nation's major rivers have their source in Colorado: the Colorado, the Rio Grande, the Arkansas, and the Platte.
GENERAL CLIMATE – Most of Colorado has a cool and invigorating climate that could be termed a highland or mountain climate of a continental location. During summer there are hot days in the plains, but these are often relieved by afternoon thundershowers. Mountain regions are nearly always cool. Humidity is generally quite low; this favors rapid evapotranspiration and a relatively comfortable feeling even on hot days. The thin atmosphere allows greater penetration of solar radiation and results in pleasant daytime conditions even during the winter. This is why skiers at high elevations are often pictured in very light clothing, although surrounded by heavy snow.
The climate of local areas are profoundly affected by differences in elevation, and to a lesser degree, by the orientation of mountain ranges and valleys with respect to general air movements. Wide variations occur within short distances. The difference (35°) in annual mean temperature between Pikes Peak and Las Animas, 90 miles to the southeast, is about the same as that between southern Florida and Iceland. The average annual snowfall at Cubres in the southern mountains is nearly 300 inches; less than 30 miles away at Manassa in the San Luis Valley, snowfall is less than 25 inches. While temperature decreases, and precipitation generally increases with altitude, these patterns are modified by the orientation of mountain slopes with respect to the prevailing winds and by the effect of topographical features in creating local air movements.
As a result of the State's distance from major sources of moisture (the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico), precipitation is generally light in the lower elevations. Prevailing air currents reach Colorado from westerly directions. Eastward-moving storms originating in the Pacific Ocean lose much of their moisture falls as rain or snow on the mountaintops and westward-facing slopes. Eastern slope areas receive relatively small amounts of precipitation from these storms.
Storms moving from the north usually carry little moisture. The frequency of such storms increases during the fall and winter months, and decreases rapidly in the spring. The accompanying outbreaks of polar air are responsible for the sudden drops in temperature often experienced in the plains sections of the State. Occasionally these outbreaks are attended by strong northerly winds which come in contact with moist air from the south; the interaction of these air masses causes a heavy fall of snow and the most severe of all weather conditions of the high plains, the blizzard. This cold air is frequently too shallow to cross the mountains to the western portion of the State so while the plains are in the grip of a very severe storm, the weather in the mountains and western valleys may be mild.
Occasionally, when the plains are covered with a shallow layer of cold air, strong westerly winds aloft work their way to the surface. Warmed by rapid descent from higher levels, these winds bring large and sudden temperature rises. This phenomenon is the "chinook" of the high plains and temperature rises of 25 degrees to 35° within a short time are not uncommon. Chinook winds greatly moderate average winter temperatures in areas near enough to the mountains to experience them frequently.
Warm, moist air from the south moves into Colorado most frequently in the spring. As this air is carried northward and westward to higher elevations, the heaviest and most general rainfalls of the year occur over the eastern portions of the State. Frequent showers and thunderstorms continue well into the summer. At times during the summer, winds shift into the southwest and bring hot, dry air over the State from the hottest weather of the year over the eastern plains, but such hot spells are usually of short duration.
CLIMATE OF THE EASTERN PLAINS – The climate of the plains is comparatively uniform from place to place, with characteristic features of low relative humidity, abundant sunshine, light rainfall, moderate to high wind movement, and a large daily range in temperature. Summer daily maximum temperatures are often 95° F or above, and 100° F temperatures have been observed at all plain stations. Such temperatures are not infrequent at altitudes below 5,000 feet; above that elevation they are comparatively rare. The highest temperatures in Colorado occur in the northeastern plains, and sometimes exceed 115° F. Because of the very low relative humidity accompanying these high temperatures, hot days cause less discomfort than in more humid areas. The usual winter extremes in the plains are from zero to 10° F or 15° F below zero.
An important feature of the precipitation in the plains is the large proportion of the annual total that falls during the growing season – 70 to 80 percent during the period from April through September. Summer precipitation in the plains is largely from thunderstorm activity and is sometimes extremely heavy. Strong winds occur frequently in winter and spring. These winds tend to dry out soils, which are not well supplied with moisture because of the low annual precipitation. During periods of drought, high winds give rise to the dust storms which are especially characteristic of the southeastern plains.
At the western edge of the plains and near the foothills of the mountains, there are a number of significant changes in climate as compared to the plains proper. Average wind movement is less, but areas very near the mountains are subject to periodic, severe turbulent winds from the effects of high westerly winds over the mountain barrier. Temperature changes from day to day are not as great; summer temperatures are lower, and winter temperatures are higher. Precipitation, which decreases gradually from the eastern border to a minimum near the mountains, increases rapidly with the increasing elevation of the foothills and increases rapidly with the increasing elevation of the foothills and proximity to higher ranges. The decrease in temperature from the eastern boundary westward to the foothills is less than might be expected with increasing altitude. This results from mountain and valley winds and greater frequency of the chinook. Below the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas, the mountain and valley winds are strong enough to modify the climate over a considerable area. Descending air currents frequently prevent the stratification of air necessary for the occurrence of excessive cold. As a consequence, the winter climate is milder than elsewhere in the State.
CLIMATE OF WESTERN COLORADO – The rugged topography of western Colorado causes large variations in climate within short distances, and few climatic generalizations apply to the whole area. At the summits of mountains, temperatures are low, averaging less than 32° F over the year. Snow-covered mountain peaks and valleys often have very cold nighttime temperatures in winter, when skies are clear and the air is still – occasionally to 50° F below zero. Summer in the mountains is a cool and refreshing season. At typical mountain stations the average July temperature is in the neighborhood of 60° F. The highest temperatures are usually in the seventies and eighties, but may reach 90° F to 95° F. Above 7,000 feet, the nights are quite cool throughout the summer, while bright sunshine makes the days comfortably warm.
The lower western valleys of the State are protected by surrounding high terrain, and have a greater uniformity of weather than the eastern plains. They experience high summer temperatures, comparable to those of the eastern plains, while average winter temperatures are somewhat lower than at similar elevations in the plains, due largely to the relative infrequency of chinook of other warming winds.
Precipitation west of the Continental Divide is more evenly distributed throughout the year than in the eastern plains. For most of western Colorado, the greatest monthly precipitation occurs in the winter months, while June is the driest month. In contrast, June is one of the wetter months in most of the eastern portions of the State.
SEVERE STORMS – Thunderstorms are quite prevalent in the eastern plains and along the eastern slopes of the mountains during the spring and summer. These often become quite severe, and the frequency of hail damage to crops in northeastern Colorado is quite high. Tornadoes almost never occur in the mountains or in the west. They are also relatively infrequent over the eastern plains, where fatality rates and mean property loss rates are lower than in States farther east. Other severe storms include the winter blizzards of the eastern high plains, but these also are less frequent and not as severe as those in States farther east and north. Heavy snows in the high mountains create the danger of avalanches, a serious problem to residents and road maintenance crews.
A spring flood potential results from the melting of the snow pack at the higher elevations. In a year of near-normal snow accumulations in the mountains and normal spring temperatures, river stages become high, but there is no general flooding. In rears when snow cover is heavy, or when there is a sudden warming in the spring at high elevations, there may be extensive flooding. Heavy thunderstorms in the eastern foothills and plains occasionally cause damaging flash floods. Although these usually affect only small areas, under extreme conditions they have caused widespread heavy damage to property and crops. Similar flash floods occur on the western slopes, but with somewhat lower frequency.
AGRICULTURE – As in other sections of the semiarid West, water is of prime importance to human activities in Colorado. In the eastern plains and in the flat valley areas, where agricultural activities are practicable, local precipitation is deficient. However, the heavy winter snow in the mountains, which accumulates 10 to 20 feet or more, provides a year-around source of water for streams and rivers. Many large reservoirs conserve the heavy spring runoff and often furnish power, in addition to serving irrigation purposes. Highly productive irrigated agricultural areas have been developed along the South Platte and Arkansas Rivers in the Eastern plains, as well as in many of the western valleys.
As a result of its varied climate, Colorado has a highly diversified agriculture. Northeastern Colorado has a growing season averaging about 140 days, which is suitable for the major crops of wheat, spring grains, corn, alfalfa, sugar beets, and, near the mountains, potatoes and fruit. The protection offered by the mountains has favored the development of orchards, principally cherry, in the Loveland-Longmont area. Large feeding lots for fattening cattle are maintained in the northeastern portion. Southeastern Colorado has a growing season which averages 160 days but increases to nearly 180 days in the extreme southeastern corner. Vegetables, melons, sugar beets, and alfalfa are grown in the highly productive irrigated sections of the Arkansas Valley. Throughout the eastern plains "dry farming" is practiced in unirrigated areas, and the principal crops are wheat, spring grains, corn and broomcorn. In wet years excellent crop yields are realized, but the erratic variation in precipitation from year to year can seriously affect production. Periodic droughts, extending from one or two to several years, create severe agricultural and economic problems.
The portion of Colorado from the mountains west is so varied in terrain and climate that no overall description of the agriculture of the region is practicable. By irrigating with water stored in the mountain snow cover to the west, and by tapping underground supplies of water, the San Luis Valley has become a major agricultural area. Sugar beets, vegetables, alfalfa, wheat, and spring grains are among the principal crops, with potatoes the most important single crop. At the higher western elevations, livestock raising is the most important agricultural activity. Cattle raising predominates, but large herds of sheep are also found, especially in the semiarid northwestern portion of the State. The sheltered valleys of western Colorado are very fertile and the climate is generally mind. These areas produce vegetables, wheat, spring grains, alfalfa, and some sugar beets. The valleys of the Gunnison, Dolores, and Colorado Rivers, in the extreme western portions, have areas favorable for growing apples, peaches, pears, and apricots. These valleys have a long growing season, with an average of 160 to 190 days in the Grand Junction area. Excellent meadows are pastures are found in many of the higher river and creek valleys, and hay is one of the large and profitable crops.
RECREATION – One of the largest "industries" in Colorado is the tourist trade. Visitors are attracted by the climate and the recreational activities afforded by the Rocky Mountains, the two National Parks are Rocky Mountains, lying along the high backbone of the Rockies, and Mesa Verde in the southwestern corner of the State. The several National Monuments include the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, the Great Sand Dunes in the San Luis Valley, Colorado National Monument near Grand Junction, and Dinosaur in the northwest corner. Large portions of the mountainous sections of the State are in the National Forests and provide camping grounds and trails. The numerous streams and lakes offer excellent fishing, and the mountain areas off excellent wild game hunting. The principal attractions of the mountains, however, are sight-seeing and the relief they provide from the high summer temperatures at lower elevations.
Winter sports have been increasing in popularity in recent years. Many chair lifts and other installations have helped to develop skiing into one of the most popular winter sports in Colorado. The abundant snowfall means good skiing in many areas from November to as late as May. Winter sports areas are accessible throughout the winter, since the principal mountain passes are kept clear of snow and remain open except for short periods during and immediately after heavy snows.

Because we're all usually so wrapped up with the weather in our immediate vicinity, it's easy to forget that, somewhere on the planet, there's usually a cyclone, depression or tropical storm brewing. Not so this week, though—and this image from NASA shows the Earth's skies in rare, relative peace.
This image is a composite, made up of fourteen polar satellite passes stitched together from September 8, 2013. At the time, there were no hurricanes, cyclones, or tropical storms in the Atlantic, Pacific, or Indian Ocean basins. That's rare—especially given that it's the height of the cyclone season in the northern hemisphere. Also: doesn't it look pretty? [NASA]

FORT MEADE — A video of a U.S. Apache helicopter attack leaked by Pfc. Bradley Manning revealed sensitive information that could help enemies plan deadlier assaults, according to a Pentagon official's statement read Wednesday at the soldier's court-martial.
The cockpit video showed digital display information about the helicopter's airspeed and angles of engagement, according to Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jon LaRue's statement that was admitted as evidence.
"Enemies can anticipate U.S. operations and plan more effective attacks as a result," LaRue said in his statement.
LaRue is an Apache helicopter expert. His statement was about a 2007 attack in Baghdad that killed a Reuters news photographer and his driver.
Prosecutors want to convict Manning of 21 charges, including aiding the enemy, which carries a potential life sentence. They say he divulged information that found its way to Osama bin Laden.
Manning, a 25-year-old Oklahoma native, has said he didn't believe that the more than 700,000 battlefield reports, diplomatic cables and video clips he leaked while working as an intelligence analyst in Baghdad would hurt national security.
Also Wednesday, a defense attorney won an objection after prosecutors said they could not produce a computer security agreement the soldier signed after arriving in Iraq in 2009.
Manning allegedly violated the agreement in three of charges he faces: two military charges for adding unauthorized software to his work computer and one federal computer fraud charge for exceeding his authorized access.
Prosecutors wanted to enter a sample form of the agreement into evidence but Manning's attorney David Coombs objected and the judge didn't allow it.
Prosecution witness Capt. Thomas Cherepko was the unit's information assurance manager. He says all of the computer "acceptable use agreements" were routinely destroyed when the unit returned home. But he said the one Manning signed disappeared and couldn't be found shortly he was arrested.
Defense lawyers also attacked the government's assertion that Manning started sending classified information to WikiLeaks within weeks of starting work as an intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2009.
Army computer crimes investigator Mark Johnson testified on cross-examination he found no evidence on Manning's personal computer of WikiLeaks' "Most Wanted Leaks of 2009." The government alleges Manning used the list as a guide to obtain documents and videos for the anti-secrecy website.
Johnson also testified on cross-examination that he found no evidence that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange asked Manning for anything specific in a series of online chats and email exchanges.
Manning's court-martial is moving along faster than expected. Col. Michelle Roberts, a spokeswoman for the Military District of Washington, said the court-martial was a week or two ahead of the government's projected schedule. The trial began last week. It was originally projected to run through August or September.
She said the pace is partly due to agreements between prosecution and defense attorneys to accept written statements from witnesses instead of having them testify in court.
The trial will resume Monday.

|This page documents Help for users on Grand Theft Wiki.
Templates are used on Grand Theft Wiki to insert messages, boxes or code into other pages. Templates have a very wide range of uses on the wiki.
If on a page you add the code
{{name}}, then when you preview or save, the contents of the page "Template:Name" will be shown wherever you add that code. That is called 'transcluding' a template.
For example, the code
{{help}} transcludes Template:Help, which is the white+red message box at the very top of this page.
What are Templates used for?
Templates are used for many different things:
- Message Boxes that serve notices at the top of a page. You can see these all over the wiki from {{cleanup}} to {{admin}}
- Infoboxes that display a table of useful information at the top of an article
- Userboxes that users use on their pages to show who they are and what they like
- Navigation templates like {{gta}} which are shown at the bottom of articles
- Other templates are used to perform a specific function in code, such as with columns or Template:Template
Using Templates
Whatever is on the [[Template:Name]] page will then show up in every instance of the {{Name}} tag on Grand Theft Wiki. If you change the template, every page using it will change too.
For example:
This will then show the contents of Template:Spoiler, which produces:
|Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details are in the text which follows.
Inputs & Options
Some templates have inputs and options, which are called 'parameters'.
For example, {{info}} has an input where you can specify the text to be shown in the template. This is simply done after a pipe character | like this:
{{info | This is a message }}
This produces:
|This is a message
Some templates let you specify many parameters in a certain order, so you might have
{{template|input 1|input 2|input 3|input 4}}
Other templates give you a choice of parameters you specify by name. So to set the "title" and "width" parameters, you would do this:
{{template|title=This is a template|width=200px}}
Please note these are ONLY available where the template has been specifically made to use those parameters. You can't just specify the width= of a template that was not coded to accept that.
Using Other Pages
Sometimes we want to include content like a template, without having a whole template page
Any page in any namespace can be used as a template, by putting a colon (:) at the start of the tag. The code
{{:Help:Templates}} would show the contents of the Help:Templates page.
Also, subpages can be used as templates (or links) directly with a slash (/) then the subpage name. Grand Theft Auto IV quickly includes it's subpage Grand Theft Auto IV/infobox with the tag {{/infobox}}.
Using standard template code as above, the template code stays in the page, and the templates content is displayed whenever anyone views the page. Every time you change the template page, the content page changes.
In some situations, you want the code from the template to be completely inserted into the article instead. This then lets you edit the code within that article, and it's no longer 'connected' to the template's own page.
To do this, use subst: inside the template, for example:
{{subst:template}} {{subst:template|input1|input2}}
Creating Templates
To create a template, just create a page starting with Template: such as Template:NewTemplate
Templates work just like regular pages. The code inside the template will be either displayed (transcluded) or copied (substituted) into the page, depending on which code is used above.
To accept parameters, there are two ways to do this:
- Ordered Parameters
Ordered parameters just accept the first, second, third (etc) input from the template's code
So for the template transcluding code like this:
{{template | Hello}}
Inside the template code you use
{{{1}}}. Every time the template is viewed, that code will be replaced with the 1st parameter given (which is "Hello" above).
For further ordered parameters, you can use
{{{2}}} {{{3}}} {{{4}}} etc
- Named Parameters
In a similar fashion, named parameters can be specified.
{{template|title=This is a Template|width=200px}}
This transcludes Template:Template setting the parameters 'title' and 'width'
Inside the template's code, you can accept these parameters just like ordered parameters, but using the name instead of the number:

{{title}}

- Defaults
But what if someone doesn't specify the parameter you need? In the template's code, you can also set a default for a parameter like this:
This will be replaced with the 1st parameter if given, but will show 'DefaultText' if not. This can also work with numbers (such as a default width if one isn't specified)

The Situation
Plumbers and plumbing service providers know that millions of homes around Australia feature hot water reticulation systems that waste thousands of litres of water annually – because of the design of their hot water systems.
Every morning before householders step into the shower, the cold water in the hot water pipes has to be expelled before the hot water arrives. If the bathroom is some distance from the heater, that represents a lot of wasted water. In fact, for the average four person dwelling, this can amount to 20,000 litres of water down the drain each year*.
The same applies to kitchens that might be some distance from the heater. There's a lot of water cooling in hot water lines running through ceilings and down wall cavities, waiting for someone to turn on the tap.
Australia's plumbing contractors now have a solution, one that is quick and very easy to install. Best of all, when they go to present their bill, they know that their customers will be very happy to pay it because the job will save them water for years to come.
The Grundfos Solution
A clever water innovation, a small recirculation pump and valve system from Grundfos, called the Comfort System, allows plumbing businesses to quickly retrofit existing homes – without needing to fit a return water line. The result is instant hot water from existing electrical water heating systems, no matter how far the kitchen or the bathroom is from the hot water tank.
The job only takes about 30 minutes and the benefits are instant to customers -hot water on tap with no waste.
For Jayson Webb, Branch Manager of Authorised Grundfos Dealer, McCracken's Water Services Warwick (QLD), it was important to ensure the product was easy to install, and worked well.
"The first one we had, I installed at my place," he said. "I was very surprised that it was that easy to install," he said. Once an electrician had installed a power point on the outside wall by the heating unit, Jayson was ready to start. "I installed the pump on the (water) line and then the Comfort valve kit under the vanity, and that was it – I had no trouble at all."
For homes with roof cavity hot water systems, where there's already a power point, an electrician isn't even required.
The Grundfos Comfort System allows recirculation of cold water in the line via a valve, to be very quickly replaced by hot water just released from the hot water system. It uses the cold water supply line as the 'return line' to the water heater. The pump creates a pressure differential that allows the cooling water in the hot water supply line to bypass into the cold supply line through a thermostatically controlled valve.
Because the system uses the main supply line, there's no need to install a new return line, saving four to five hours' work. Less time – less cost to the householder. The small circular pump is installed on the outlet pipe of the hot water storage tank. The valve provides the bypass. When the water temperature reaches a set temperature at the valve – around 38 degrees Centigrade – it closes and stops the circulation. The valve, near the tap, requires no electricity, allowing very quick fitting.
Jayson Webb is satisfied the innovation will prove to be popular. Within a few months of the installation in his own home, two others had been installed in private homes, and another two in an exclusive resort, where customers expect 'state of the art' bathrooms.
"From my own personal experience, I am happy to recommend the Grundfos Comfort System. Having had one at my own house it gives me the utmost confidence in selling them to our customers, and once you explain the benefits, they basically sell themselves."
The Outcome
The outcome for private homes across Australia as well as motels, hotels and housing resorts is an instant hot water solution that is welcomed by users who usually expect a few minutes' wait until the hot water starts flowing.
For plumbers and plumbing contractors the Grundfos Comfort System provides an easy and quick solution to a common problem, helping them build their businesses.

Samsung has created a new touch AMOLED display that can be folded and manipulated without sullying your view with a crease.
If you want to have a go at making one yourself, all you'll need are two AMOLED panels, silicone rubber, a glass cover and a modular case for it to sit in.
Whack that all together and you should be left with a flexible yet seamless display; at least, you should if you're an incredibly clever Samsung engineer working at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology in South Korea.
Testing testing, one two
Testing the prototype, Samsung folded it 100,000 (we feel for the poor experience kid that got lumbered with that job), and found that the display's brightness dropped by a barely-visible 6 per cent at the centre where the fold occurred.
The potential for Samsung here is huge; the company has been working on foldable OLED displays for a good few years and reckons that it could be selling tablets or smartphones with a dual-single screen in one to two years' time.
Considering that it's just ten years since we saw the first commercially successful colour mobile phone screen hit the market, this seamless yet flexible AMOLED display sounds pretty darn incredible.

Donald O'Neal Scholarship Fund
Established on the occasion of Don O'Neal's retirement, this scholarship honors a much beloved professor at UIS. When you give to this scholarship, you will be both honoring Don and providing support to students.
Paul M. Snodgrass Memorial Scholarship
This is a family affair! WWII veteran and IBM lifetime achievement officer, Paul Snodgrass had an early affinity for UIS (then Sangamon State University) as demonstrated by his monetary contribution for SSU's initial land acquisition. Yet, no one could have known back then that Paul's early affection for UIS would emerge as a lasting legacy that still affects the lives of students today. In 1982, Mr. Snodgrass earned his MBA of Business from SSU, where his wife had earlier received her bachelor and master degrees in communication. All three of the Snodgrass children earned bachelor degrees from U of I in Urbana, and two went on to complete their Master degrees from SSU. Additionally, two of the Snodgrass children also married graduates of SSU/UIS. When Mr. Snodgrass died on February 27, 1998 – less than one week after his 71st birthday – it was his IBM family who established the Paul M. Snodgrass Memorial Scholarship at UIS in his honor, acknowledging his tireless dedication to the university. The scholarship has since been funded by the Snodgrass family for permanent endowment to benefit students in UIS' business administration and management programs.
Kent Weber Scholarship
For students living outside of certain central Illinois counties and studying business or management.
Joe Wilkins Veterans Scholarship
Joseph Wilkins received a $200 scholarship as a high school junior and it changed his life forever. Though the amount was small, it became the impetus of a distinguished career that included military decoration, the rank of captain in the U.S. Air Force, UIS emeritus professorship and an ongoing scholarship for students in the 21st century.
In addition to his aforementioned accomplishments, Dr. Wilkins was also involved in national and international business organizations and lectured at professional conferences all over the world including England, Germany, Sweden and France. The Joe Wilkins Veterans Scholarship was established in 2003 and is awarded to graduate or undergraduate Business or Management majors in good academic standing. Preference given to Management majors of merit and financial need is taken into consideration with applicants of equal merit.

German Zimtsterne (cinnamon almond cookies)
I always wanted to make these, and finally got the guts — oh boy, I wasn't really prepared for the amount of nitty-gritty with making these. I started with original German recipe that called for 500g of almonds, but that ended up being 2 full baking sheets and lots of sneaky snacking between steps ;-) But the result is good, and these cookies are worth the effort.
Yogurt drink
Drinking yogurt is a terrific drink for autumn — it tastes fresh, contains probiotic bacteria and makes a great dessert or a quick snack, not only during autumn. But during this time of the year it is especially important to keep the natural defense high against viruses and bacteria, and yoghurt is a superb ally in that! Did I mention it tastes great? ;-)
This recipe came to life when I was left with no fresh milk after a short travel — I had only one mini-bottle of a drinkable probiotic yogurt and some condensed milk for coffee (sic!). But against all odds, it worked out!
